A 29-year-old Hong Kong woman has secured bail of HK$50,000 (US$6,410) after prosecutors accused her of assisting a suspect’s attempted escape by boat following the murder of model Abby Choi Tin-fung.
Irene Pun Hau-yin was escorted to Kowloon City Court on Wednesday to face a charge of assisting an offender with intent to impede his apprehension or prosecution, reports South China Morning Post.
Mainland Chinese authorities arrested her and handed her to local police on Tuesday. The woman, who claimed to be jobless, is believed to be a friend of Choi’s ex-husband, Alex Kwong Kong-chi, one of three people suspected of the model’s murder.
Human remains discovered at a Tai Po village house have been identified as belonging to slain Hong Kong model Abby Choi Tin-fung, the Post has learned.
DNA tests confirmed a skull discovered in a large soup pot and two legs found in a refrigerator at the ground-floor flat of the Lung Mei Tsuen three-storey house were the remains of the 28-year-old socialite, a source familiar with the case on Monday said.
According to police, some of Choi’s body parts, including her torso and hands, had yet to be recovered.
